----- Forwarded message from Gmane Administrator <admin@...21...> ----- Date: Fri, 12 May 2006 23:19:10 +0200 From: Gmane Administrator <admin@...21...> To: inkscape-translator-admin(a)lists.sourceforge.net Subject: inkscape-translator added to Gmane We have received a request for adding the inkscape-translator(a)lists.sourceforge.net mailing list to the Gmane mail-to-news gateway/archive. A subscription request message has been sent. If this is contrary to your wishes, please send a mail to admin@...22... saying so, and the list will be removed from Gmane. Gmane is a mail-to-news portal that never expires its messages. It therefore also functions as a mailing list archive. It's a bi-directional gateway, but Gmane verifies that its users' email addresses are valid before passing the messages through the news-to-mail gateway. (Groups can also be made "read-only", which means that Gmane won't forward any messages at all to the mailing list.) Gmane can encrypt addresses to make address harvesting difficult, and heeds X-No-Archive and related headers. If you wish to import older archives into Gmane, send a message to the Gmane administrators with the URL of a Unix mbox archive of the mailing list. In partnership with The Mail Archive, messages will be archived on that service as well. This provides redundancy across two archival services. The following parameters are set for this mailing list: * Newsgroup name: gmane.comp.graphics.inkscape.translator * Mailing list address: inkscape-translator(a)lists.sourceforge.net * The gateway is bi-directional * Address encryption is on * Spam detection is on * The list is described as: "List for Inkscape Translators. Inkscape is an SVG editor and a powerful vector illustration software" * News URL: news://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.graphics.inkscape.translator * Web URL: http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.comp.graphics.inkscape.translator This newsgroup will be created when the first message from the mailing list arrives. For more information about the Gmane project, go to <URL: http://gmane.org/>. For more information about The Mail Archive, go to <URL: http://www.mail-archive.com/>. This request was handled by Raymond Scholz <rscholz@...23...>. ----- End forwarded message -----

Installer localization
by Xavier Conde Rueda 10 May '06

10 May '06

Hi all! This is my first message on this list, so I'll introduce myself. My name is Xavi, and i'm in charge of the Catalan localization team. Many thanks for creating this list, it will help a lot! I have some questions about the translation of tutorials for Inkscape. My team translated the SVG documents recently. We know the right way is to translate them on XML format, but we needed them on SVG in order to integrate them on a Windows package we deployed. We are going to move them to the XML tutorials, however I submitted the SVGs some months ago through the patch tracker but they haven't been accepted yet. I'm not sure if you don't accept SVG tutorials anymore (thus forcing to port them to XML, which anyway I think is the correct way) or if you just didn't saw them. Also, related to Matiphas prevoius mail, i want to point a very important source for localization: the Windows installer. For my organization, it's very important to have it translated; just running it on English isn't enough, so we consider it as important as another UI element. So, in order of importance, i would say, 1. po files 2. tutorials 3. Windows installer 4. Release notes 5. Web pages 6. README, etc. (really this should be never been read at all) The TranslationInformation page should be rewritten following this list. Also, additional information for how to translate the windows installer should be added: it's not too difficult to translate, and it will save having to do a separate build with a translated installer. I would like to add the information about translating the installer, some time in the future :).

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Updating the po files in svn

Hi, > > Would someone be interested and able to assist Arpad with > > translation patch committing? I'd be happy to give commit > > access to anyone who has had at least two patches accepted. > > Yes sure, with pleasure. Sorry for disappearing. Would of course be a good idea to give other translators SVN write access, since I'm not always around, and we shouldn't have a single point of failure anyway. E.g., Matiphas and Colin are obvious candidates. Anyone wishing to do PO file updates, please let me know and I will send you my script for the purpose. BTW PO patches will be committed Real Soon Now (TM), thanks for your patience. Arpad Biro __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Just want to say hi !

Hello Inkscape translators ! I just want to say hello to you. I had translated the inkscape basic-tutorial and some of the inkscape FAQ on the homepage from english to german (my native language). I agree with Matiphas about translation priorities and the difficulties to translate some "special words". I had experienced difficulties with keyboard-shortcuts because some keys on "european keyboards" were on other keys as third-funktion or were missing completly. For example the scaling and rotating with the german keyboard were not possible. That means the software had to be changed first to solve that issue. I think it is a bit unusual to translate the tutorials straight forward and then to write in brackets (sorry this funktion is not possible in our language because the keys on your keyboard are wrong). Other than that, i am very willing to translate more of inkscape, because it is such a good project and that is the only possibility for me to contribute (i am no developer). nice greetings Stefan vonHalenbach
